Chapter 542 Chapter 540: Flat push (12 more updates)
On the straight asphalt road, the guards were marching, forming a long line that seemed to have no end.
Luo Yi stood in the void, his fighting spirit blossomed, the holy fire burned, and it turned into a big sun that rivaled the blood moon, announcing his existence and giving the soldiers of the Flower Territory endless courage.
At this time, in the center of the sun, Luo Yi slowly lowered his head.
That’s right, the reason why he made such a big fuss was actually because he felt he was being watched from afar.
No matter what they wanted to do, Luo Yi didn't want a fight to break out during the march, so he showed up to intimidate them.
Of course, he also knew that this was the Blood Moon Forest, the home ground of the dark clan.
In a sense, Flower Leader plays his cards openly, so it's okay to be spied on.
As for the battle on the front line, he also received news, but he didn't really take it seriously.
In view of the poor performance of the dark race, he even thought it was just a private attack by a few small tribes and didn't think much about it.
When he looked down, he saw the large portal being pulled forward.
How to say it?
This sudden idea came to me by chance. Under normal circumstances, the portal cannot be moved.
After all, the anchored space is different. If it moves, the spatial position changes, and it has to be redesigned, the spatial cracks have to be torn open again, and the spatial channel has to be stabilized again.
Anyway, it is impossible to drag it along in the main material plane.
But, this is a demiplane!
The most important thing is that it is actually the blood moon fragments that open the space channel, and in this demiplane, the light of the blood moon covers every inch of the earth.
In other words, what was being dragged away this time was not the space crack, but the blood moon fragment, which ensured that the large portal would be opened at any time.
In fact, under Loy's gaze, magicians came in and out.
Each of them has seventeen or eighteen dimensional bags hanging on their bodies, and each dimensional bag contains specific supplies.
After entering the demiplane, someone immediately came forward, took the dimensional bag, recorded it, registered it, and then delivered it to different people and distributed it to various places.
Here, there is fresh food and clean water, weapons and ammunition, fully charged pearl magic stones, and various supplies.
Of course, the most abundant material is actually gravel and asphalt extracted from pine trees, which is the main consumption in road construction.
Although they could not be considered mechanized troops, they were still able to march very quickly over a distance of thirty miles.
By noon, they had arrived at the second forward war camp.
Here, the trees have been felled and leveled, and a basic steel fence has been built.
After the main force arrived and had lunch, they immediately got down to work.
A group of soldiers who practiced breathing techniques all had great strength and endurance. They controlled specially developed magical tools and worked more fiercely and quickly than the other.
Of course, along with the construction of the camp, the asphalt road was also built.
In fact, there are actually more people stationed on this road than in the rest camp. Luo Yi does not require speed, but at least ten miles of road must be paved every day.
The leading exploration team even determined the location of the third war camp.
That was forty miles away in a straight direction, and there was also a relatively flat and open area.
According to Luo Yi's plan, the construction and stationing of this second camp will only last for six days.
Six days later, they will march a second time to the third camp, and repeat this process until they reach Blood Moon Castle.
Of course, these built camps are not abandoned, but will become the rear base of the war.
It also serves as an airport, griffin's nest, field hospital, material storage warehouse, etc.
It can be said that this time Luo Yi demonstrated the famous saying that when the army sets out, we must cut through mountains and build bridges over rivers.
I also told Grand Duke Toledo clearly that I will not play any fancy games with you. I will rely on my strength to crush you openly.
In fact, after the Guards moved their camp for the third time, that is, after advancing hundreds of miles, the Grand Duke of Toledo could no longer hold back.
He drove the dark tribe under his command and launched a fierce attack.
At first, they attacked during the day, relying on their numbers and charging indiscriminately.
But stragglers are just stragglers!
After being beaten up and losing his temper, he began to try various tactics.
For example, the night raid that the dark clan is most familiar with!
In the Blood Moon Forest demiplane, although there is always a blood moon hanging in the sky at all times, there is also a distinction between day and night.
During the day, Helka's sunlight will be refracted by the blood moon and enter the demiplane, making the entire plane extremely bright.
It is also because of this that the plants in the demiplane are abnormally prosperous.
At night, the light dims and the sky and the earth become dark.
For the dark race, this is the time to be active. Most of them have low-light vision, which does not affect the battle at all.
However, when it comes to dealing with mercenary teams, they can still fight, but when facing regular troops, they are really not enough.
If Flower Leader releases a few flares, the night will become as bright as day.
With superior firepower and sweeping shots in all directions, the so-called night attack became a joke.
Of course, this group of dark races have also come up with solutions, the most obvious of which is to learn from successful experiences.
That's right, Grand Duke Toledo spent a lot of gold from the Demon Eye Alliance to dig up the Battle of Verdun and study it frame by frame.
Then, they formed the Dark Mage Corps, and under the auspices of the old and emaciated vampire Grand Duke Bruch, they successfully completed the summoning of the Undead Legion.
Please note that this time they did not look for the undead creatures,
They don't want any of the physical undead creatures like skeletons, zombies, bone dragons, and death knights.
Instead, they were all replaced by incorporeal ghosts and vengeful spirits, commonly known as: ghosts!
That's right, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that these ghosts and vengeful spirits had no physical form and directly penetrate the armor of the magic tank to kill the crew members inside.
To be honest, the Undead King who accepted their sacrifice was stunned, because he had never encountered such a strange request before.
However, seeing the abundant sacrifices offered by these dark races, He certainly chose to be satisfied!
As for the effect, it actually did exist. At least at the beginning, it looked quite intimidating and caused considerable damage to the infantry.
It is difficult for these ghosts to kill the enemy quickly, especially the strong ones, who need to be worn away bit by bit.
However, the wails of the vengeful spirits are quite deadly, directly attacking the soul and are best used in a small area.
But just when Grand Duke Toledo and his men were confidently launching an attack, they suddenly discovered that diamond-shaped defensive force fields had risen up around the magic tank.
The sudden rise of the magic shield caused these ghosts and evil spirits to bump into each other and get hurt.
Then, before he knew it, the Royal Guards had already finished reloading their ammunition.
The pure holy water bullets have limited damage to ordinary people, but they are extremely lethal to these undead creatures.
The summoning that came at a huge cost and the carefully prepared attack were resolved just like that. The three legends were so angry that they were speechless.
However, this battle also completely angered them.
Especially the Grand Duke of Toledo, seeing that the roads were being paved and the camps were being built normally, the human army was getting closer and closer to the Blood Moon Castle.
He also completely lost his mind.
He no longer tolerated casualties, but instead called all the dark tribes over and rushed them to the battlefield.
There is no doubt that this time, he is going to use human wave tactics, endless harassment and attacks to slow down the construction and advancement of Flower Territory.
At the same time, it also dampened the fighting spirit of the Imperial Guards.
According to his idea, even if it is five for one or ten for one, it is not impossible!
The Flower Territory only sent 20,000 soldiers, while the dark tribes of the Blood Moon Forest definitely numbered more than two million.
It can be said that this is a battle for wealth, regardless of cost.
It must be said that this time, the Royal Guards soldiers did broaden their horizons and saw the diversity of the dark race.
Not to mention the vampires and werewolves, there are also trolls, gargoyles, ghouls, barbarians, cannibals, half-werewolfs, dark elves, gray dwarves, and so on and so forth...
What surprised Loy the most was that there were tieflings with devil blood and fallen angels from heaven here.
The two tribes were not large in number, but each was powerful in its own way, and even caused some trouble to the Imperial Guards.
Among them, the fallen angel attracted Luo Yi's attention with his absolute strength.
There weren't many of them, but their combat power after they became adults was basically around level four. They teamed up with a group of vampires to use sneak attack tactics, which was really hard to defend against, giving Luo Yi a headache.
This forced Luo Yi to transfer most of the powerful natural disaster warriors from the Flower Territory.
The half-giant Bane, the Iron Knight Phil, the faceless killer Ulysses, the mechanical monster Nehemiah von Braun, and the great alchemist Benito Floyd were all called in.
In addition to the Rage King Silas, the Flame Sword Saint Otto, the Water Scourge Lady Palacios, and the Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke,
And the three vampire marquises of the Cullen family.
These powerful natural disasters are enough, not to mention that Luo Yi can take action personally.
But don't forget, he is not a legend, just a fourth-level one. Even if it is to break the agreement or something, it is understandable for him to take action.
The leader of the fallen angels was hit by his holy light spear and fled for dozens of miles, but his body was still pierced and burned to ashes by the holy fire.
From then on, these fallen angels became obedient.
As for tieflings, that's another style.
They inherited the absolute order of the devil, and the dark army they formed appeared to be extremely layered when they launched an attack.
They first sent the gray dwarves to launch a sneak attack from underground.
These close relatives and fallen ones of the dwarves, controlled a magical prop similar to a conch, and could actually burrow through the ground.
The outposts and fortifications set up by the Royal Guard are basically facing outward.
So, when these gray dwarves emerged from underground, they did cause some chaos.
Then came the dark elves' magic arrow attacks. Not only did they have a long range, but they were also covered by the woods. The hail of arrows also had a suppressive effect.
Then came the ghouls and trolls as the vanguard, charging with werewolves, barbarians, cannibals and werewolves.
In the sky is the battlefield between vampires and gargoyles.
For a moment, it really felt like the enemies in heaven and on earth were like a tide.
But feelings are just feelings, not reality!
Trouble is just trouble, it is easy to solve!
On the side of the Royal Guards, Loy didn't even show up, but just let the commanders of each unit do their job.
First, a few rounds of tracer bullets caused panic among the dark race.
Then the third-level transcendent took action, killing a group of gray dwarves and clearing up the civil strife.
Then, the heavy machine gun positions opened fire, forming a network of interwoven firepower to prevent the dark tribes from approaching.
Once the internal artillery adjusted the angle of the field gun and launched indiscriminate bombardment, a group of charging dark tribes were stunned.
After three rounds of bombing, the magic tank appeared, carrying a diamond-shaped defensive shield and rushing around.
The tanks rarely used their main guns, and just fired two heavy machine guns everywhere, or simply ran over the enemies, crushing them into a bloody mess.
When the infantry finally arrived, they were only doing some work like cleaning the battlefield. They didn't feel like they were participating at all, even holding guns.
As for the sky battlefield, let alone.
The flying brigade needs an airport, and it takes some time from takeoff to arrival at the battlefield.
The Griffin Knights had far fewer restrictions, and a group of them rushed over howling.
It is worth mentioning that, as stubborn as they are, they no longer howl there with cold weapons.
Instead, each of them held a heavy machine gun and fired holy water bullets in various postures. Dozens of bullets were fired in a breath. Even the vampires who turned into bats in the sky could not withstand it.
This is a victory of attack frequency and killing distance. It's no wonder they don't abide by the glory of the old aristocracy.
When the distance is shortened, the griffins will also show their powerful melee ability, sharp claws and beaks, even the body of the gargoyle cannot withstand it.
So, some troubles are just troubles.
But even this was the most ferocious attack launched by the Dark Clan in the early stages, and it still failed to affect the speed at which the Royal Guards built roads and bridges.
From then on, the Royal Guards really made steady progress.
There were battles every day, and the dark tribes' sneak attacks never stopped, which brought the effectiveness of military training to the extreme.
Loyi even adopted a rotation system, pulling in the last garrison of the Imperial Guards, allowing these new recruits to face the cruelty of battle.
Well, it’s actually quite cruel to the dark race.
As long as the soldiers of the Royal Guards put their usual training into practice and pull the trigger, few dark races will be able to rush in front of them.
They continued forward, pushing forward all the way until the asphalt road was repaired to a distance of two hundred miles, and finally encountered the first city in the demiplane - the Scarlet City.
However, what Luo Yi did not expect was that although the rulers of this city were vampires, the majority of the residents were actually humans.
To be precise, they are all human and livestock raised by the vampires.
Not only do they have to provide labor, but they also have to build houses for the vampires, grow food, weave clothes, and brew wine.
It can be said that the exquisite and elegant aristocratic life of the vampires is not because they know magic and blood magic, but because they have these slaves.
At the same time, these slaves were also their food, and their blood had to be drawn regularly for them to suck.
Grand Duke Bruch arrived with a group of Bruch's vampires. The pure virgin girls used for the reception were selected from the city.
The problem Luo Yi is facing now is to capture this city first.
It’s better to avoid it and continue forward. After taking down the Blood Moon Castle, we will liberate this city.
This was a headache for Luo Yi, but before he could make a decision, the war outside changed again.
